**EXHIBIT C**

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all oftheir shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of thefollowing methods when selling shares: 

 
 • 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; 

 
 • 
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate thetransaction; 

 
 • 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 

 
 • 
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

 
 • 
privately negotiated transactions; 

 
 • 
short sales; 

 
 • 
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; 

 
 • 
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; 

 
 • 
a combination of any such methods of sale; and 

 
 • 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if anybroker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Anyprofits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any,attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposedon that person under the Securities Act. 

 

-47- 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of theshares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed asupplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as sellingstockholders under this prospectus. 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in whichcase the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement tothis prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholdersunder this prospectus. 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stockmay be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stockpurchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 

We are required to pay all fees andexpenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters orbroker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any sellingstockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale ofthe shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 

The anti-manipulationrules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.
